Collaborative Work: Heart

Randy Valiente, a very talented artist and advocate of Philippine Komiks, has posted about a collaborative work that Mia Sereno (scribe and artist extraordinaire) and I are participating in. I hope it’s OK for me to repost the teaser illustration that he made for it in this blog, because I think Randy and Mia’s art is well worth promoting:

Mia is a good online friend, and a firm advocate of literacy in the Philippines. She is also a member of Read or Die, a Philippines-based literacy group I’ve mentioned on this blog not a few times.

I’m very honored that Mia and Randy took an interest in my fiction, and I’m really looking forward to when it’ll be out for distribution. We’re planning to make it available for the 28th Manila International Book Fair, so please do attend!

Randy has also mentioned a press conference of “big” komiks publishers who will be present at the National Center for Culture and the Arts Building at 12 noon this July 26. Tune in to his blog for details!
